Big Fan and Shiny Shoe have announced that the paid DLC "The Penitent" for Monster Train 2 is now available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox. The new DLC introduces a new clan focused on building around taking damage proactively, allowing players to convert the suffering endured by The Penitent in battle into power.
This clan features its own resource and upgrade cycle, with warriors including Akus, the Dark Avatar. Players can sacrifice cards to gain Devotion or accumulate Fervor to empower The Penitent; the more damage their Penitent units take, the stronger they become.
This mechanic changes the traditional approach to protecting units, requiring deck-building decisions to balance self-inflicted costs, immediate benefits, and unit survivability. The DLC is priced at NT$175 and HK$48.
The developers also confirmed that Monster Train 2 is planned to launch on Nintendo Switch 2, iOS, and Android by late 2026. At that time, the base game and all latest updates will be released simultaneously on these platforms.
